LOVE STITCHES
Half cross stitches decorated cookies
Who said that a decorated cookie must necessarily be covered with a thick layer of royal icing?
I love subtle discreet decorations, but above all I like to taste the flavor of the cookies, which I believe should remain the protagonist.
Would you like to learn how to create this delicate half cross stitch needlepoint effect with me and to better understand how to achieve and master the right royal icing piping consistency (with some scientific reasons too)? Are you keen to discover an innovative and peculiar way to make super-sharp no-seam miniature piping bags that will free you from steel nozzles even for the finest details?
In this course I will not only teach you this specific decorative project, using a technique of very simple execution yet of great scenographic effect, but I will also introduce you to several general principles of working with royal icing that will always be very useful.
A monographic and technical course at the same time.

Your teacher
I have been teaching cake design and pastry for many years now on a professional level, both in Italy and abroad worldwide.
I always thought there was too much distance between the world of classic pastry on one hand and artistic decoration on the other. A sort of rivalry between the two sectors whereby if you do well in one you cannot do well in the other.
And I also think that modern cake design to be taken more seriously must make a qualitative leap, based on solid technical and scientific foundations.
I hope with my contribution to help people bridge this gap.
